Pros and cons of Bon appétit - French food and drink glossary app for iPhone and iPad

Bon appétit - French food and drink glossary app good for

This application Is of great help when trying to order something at a restaurant. It Can translate to Dutch, French English or German. the interface is very very cute. À recommander!!!!
Easy to use. Handy too! Merci mes amis! Do more! Medical terms with simple complaints to use at a Drs office. I would buy this!
This app is simple, effective and straightforward. It doesnt pretend to be anything but what it is: a dictionary look-up for food words that you wont find in any dictionary. With so many apps pitching themselves as miracle workers, its refreshing to find one that works perfectly and provides you with a loads of genuinely useful and accurate info. Parfait!
This app has really helped to increase my vocabulary in a simple way. Easy to use as well.

Some bad moments

App will not launch. running 5.0.1 on iphone 4s. Bad very bad. I want a refund. too bad it looked pretty good but if it doesnt work.
this app does not work….search results are unreadable as they overlay whatever was already onscreen…piece of crap
Works perfectly and helped me find the restraint that I now love!
Very user friendly, lots of items. Now all I have to do is actually go to France. Haha Would be better if it had some recipes behind those yummy looking names... :)
Having living in 3 of the 4 countries that the app. translates for, I see it would have came in handy back then. It does not have Italian translation. Also, I got the spoken voice to work only once and never again. Hmmmmm The app was free today.
I read a lot of cookbooks and this helps me tremendously and also when I go to a French restaurant. I now know what Im ordering!! Thanks so much!!
